What makes a bottle of bourbon truly special? It's not just
what's inside—it's the moments it helps us create and the
connections it fosters. In this heartfelt exploration of
whiskey's role in life's meaningful transitions, Tiny shares how
bourbon brought his family together during a memorial service for
his wife's uncle Peter, creating lasting bonds through shared
pours of rare bottles like JW Dant from 1969 and May Day
Rye.

The spotlight then turns to Baker's High Rye Limited Edition, a
fascinating twist on the classic expression. This single barrel,
7-year 9-month bourbon delivers an impressive flavor
transformation while maintaining the brand's signature smooth,
slick mouthfeel. Through a meticulous tasting, Tiny reveals why
this 107-proof special release earns a perfect 18/18 score on the
Old Louisville Whiskey Company barrel bottle breakdown—with its
intense cherry candy nose, cinnamon-apple palate, and
exceptionally long holiday spice finish that outperforms even the
beloved original Baker's.

Bourbon enthusiasts will appreciate the detailed side-by-side
comparison between the high rye expression and the traditional
Baker's, highlighting how rye content transforms the whiskey
while preserving its essential character. We also get exciting
announcements about upcoming events including the exclusive
Crystal Glen Cairn Club tasting in August and a Maker's Mark
private barrel selection with Rob Samuels on September 4th, plus
a preview of next week's special episode featuring Dan Garrison
discussing Garrison Brothers Guadalupe bourbon.

Whether you're a longtime bourbon aficionado or just beginning
your whiskey journey, this episode reminds us that great bourbon
creates not just memorable flavors, but meaningful connections.
